My name is Amanda Brandt, and I’m a registered nurse with prior experience as an LPN. Throughout my nursing career, I’ve met many aspiring nurses who were eager to pursue their dreams of becoming a nurse, but didn’t know where to start. That was my inspiration to design the website, LPN Programs Near Me. Attending an LPN program is a great first step for someone interested in becoming a nurse, and is a path I always recommend aspiring nurses to explore.

Dozens of nurses receive this prestigious award every year, so we decided to highlight some of our favorite stories from 2023 for Nurses’ Week.

An estimated 1.1 billion women worldwide will have experienced menopause by 2025. Symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and anxiety can be incredibly disruptive — and last for years. But despite its massive impact, little is being done to support those going through menopause in the workplace. In a recent survey, 70% of respondents said they have considered changing their employment to better manage symptoms — perhaps because only 8% received significant support from their employer related to meno

Investigators at the Cleveland Clinic are exploring the possibility that blocking “creeping fat” may in the future help to reduce stricture formation in Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s disease starts with inflammation that progresses over time into fibrosis and stricture formation in the intestine. That ensuing luminal narrowing drives obstructive symptoms in patients, including cramping, dietary changes and abdominal pain after eating.
